Well I only have a few followers so I know most don't care, but with deciding on getting rid of Facebook I decided maybe I should start writing on here for the passerby , my friends and family and so on.<br />
Lately life has been so so busy! Lots of studying, packing for our big move, daily duties of a wife and stay at home mommy (harder than you think), making sure our puppy gets all the love he can handle and a little more LOL, and lots more. I feel like I always have something going on even when I am not supposed to. Anyone know what I mean?<br />

Here is our new edition to the family if you're curious..... I am so in love with him, and I swear he is part cat !</div>

As for my mini me she is doing so great on taking a true interest in her reading. She is determined to be able to read a whole chapter book before the next school year starts. She loves her wonderful teacher, as do I. She has really been learning how to choose for herself lately and I love it! It scares me sometimes but I want her to know it is ok to have your own thoughts, I do monitor her a little because she is only 8 years old but I do allow her to build her own opinions on people and things in this world. I have to say she did make me proud in church today. The pastor was talking to the kids and before he was finished my wee one added that you need to be greatful. I will leave that subject for another time ;] ! All in all she is a crazy little 8 year old who already thinks she has the world figured out, loves attention, creating, making friends, and going to school. </div>

It's so much fun playing dress up, handing out and receiving candy, seeing all the kids having the night of their life, and especially all the decorations. I don't celebrate it half as much as most but we definitely like to have fun with it ! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year I decided to be a deer (yes I know that it was last years big thing), and my sweet little one decided to be Minnie Mouse. We wished daddy could have been with us but he had surgery and was stuck on the couch playing Destiny and eating pizza. I am sure he didn't mind too much ;] Of course he had our little protector Ruffus protecting him hehehe. I wish I could have taken a picture of Ruffus in his dinosaur costume, but I could not get him to stay still. If you don't own a puppy boxer, they are very energetic so getting them to stay still for a moment is like raking leaves in a wind storm . It's just not going to happen LOL. </div>

We came up to one of the houses and the couple did an outstanding job making it look creepy. One of those creepy items was a big box with the husband inside. The front was see through with blood all over, and he was banging it telling kids to come here, and to let him out. My little one was so freaked out that she was hanging onto me for dear life. And her friend who is around 5 I believe , looked at the guy like he was just plain stupid , and she just went up to grab her candy . If you could have seen the look you would have been dying of laughter like I was.</div>

While out we saw loads of our friends and one of them decided to do the coolest thing in the world. She not only made the coolest little yarn ball monsters for kids, but instead of candy she gave them a cool coupon for free ice cream! Way better then candy I say ! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One amazing trend that took place this year was the turquoise pumpkin's and non-food items for children with allergies. How amazing is that ! I believe I saw 10 plus houses who joined in. And we only went to about 1/4 of the houses ! Things have been changing so much in the school and neighborhoods and I have to say I love it. The support and kindness for children with food allergies is astounding .</div>

This is my everyday look . I love lots of gold , hair done, red lips and false lashes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FkNpy0_2IvM/U8DKg-ApMRI/AAAAAAAAAs8/Fk2_4Lr-aQE/s1600/1005282_10201368792412895_1412805792_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FkNpy0_2IvM/U8DKg-ApMRI/AAAAAAAAAs8/Fk2_4Lr-aQE/s1600/1005282_10201368792412895_1412805792_n.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
"Why are you so dressed up?" I don't know how many times I have been asked that. I can remember the first time I mindfully chose my own clothes. I was in 4th grade. A pair of medium wash bell bottoms, a black pleather jacket, and a plain white cotton t-shirt. My hair was brushed and just dangling above my hips . My little frizz poppers at the top of my head were slicked down with a light hairspray and I even had really cute black rubber sole loafers with a thick heel to match my oh so cool feeling pleather jacket. I remember feeling so beautiful because for once I wasn't in my typical 49er's sweatshirt, black double wide legged jinco jeans, fila shoes, green and white addidas jacket, topped off with a not so brushed low pony tale. For the first time I could remember I felt gorgeous. I thought everyone else would appreciate my effort as well. I remember waiting in anticipation for someone to comment on my outfit. <br />
<br />
I waited almost all morning. We were out at recess and I was playing by myself drawing on the ground with chalk when one of the "popular" girls decided to stroll over to comment on my efforts at looking nice. "Ew why are you so dressed up ? I bet you think you're cool now don't you!" It went on and on with mean cruel words. I tried to ignore it but tears started to blur my vision and I couldn't see what I was drawing. I couldn't find my words because even as a 9 year old I couldn't understand reasoning behind being that cruel to someone. <br />
<br />
That girl grew up and changed for the better, we even became friends in high school and she is a beautiful sweet soul now. But unfortunately that confidence crushing question still made it's way out of everyones mouth. <br />
<br />
I have slowly realized that no matter what you wear, do, say, write, or attempt in life there will always be a person to test your confidence in yourself. Someone who will intentionally say things to bring you down. With that I realized it's up to you to continue to do what you enjoy. For some, confidence is truly a natural part of their being. But I am part of the most common crowd both men and women alike. I have struggled to feel good in what I do everyday. Even now I sometimes struggle. But isn't that life ? <br />
<br />
I still hate being criticized and looked at but I don't let it stop me from being fancy when I don't need to be. Little girls and boys everywhere in the world BE WHO YOU TRULY ARE!!!!! Don't let other's comments and rhetorical questions ruin your day or mood. Usually they are criticizing you for their own entertainment because they think what they say sounds good and will hurt you. And even if it does don't let them see it ! They don't deserve to see that personal side of you.<br />
<br />
I realize I am a crappy and scatter brain writer so to all those who are grammar freaks I apologize, not everyone is awesome at everything. <br />
<br />
Stay true to yourself and what the heck take a dang selfie!!!!<br />
<br />

I have been signed up since December 2012 and I love it! This month I got some great stuff, some ok stuff, and some stuff that made me think ....really this is what you chose to promote ! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*First let's address this bag situation...I don't hate it, I don't like it, and I don't really know what to think about it. I just don't know what to think about it...but hay it's free, and it's another cosmetic bag for me to use for something so I'm cool with it ;]</div>

*Next is the <a href="http://www.cailyncosmetics.com/category_s/267.htm" target="_blank">Cailyn tinted lip balm.</a> LOVE!!!! this stuff. This stuff feels like a lip balm but is opaque and looks like a matte lipstick. It is a little pricey but the product goes a long way! Above I had been wearing it for 6 hours and did not have to reapply once. And the picture of the transfer was taken about 10 minutes after it had set.<br />

*<a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/p-2-single-eye-shadow.aspx" target="_blank">NYX single eye shadow</a> in a beautiful dark grey purple color [ I have no idea what color it is so sorry I FAIL!] . Do I even need to say anything about nyx ? I shouldn't. This stuff lives up to the hype. It is so pigmented and cheap ! The only thing I love more then the day after thanksgiving sales, is makeup that is just as good as a high end brand for less then half the price. Love this color as well! Perfect for going out for a night out. <br />

<br />
*<a href="http://starlooks.com/collections/eyes/products/kohl-eye-pencil" target="_blank">Starlooks Obsidian Khol Eye Pencil</a>- I like this pencil, I wouldn't say I love it but I do like it and will definitely be using it. Pro's, it goes on quite easily and it's not too soft like most Kohl liners.. Con's , it's not the blackest liner in the world and it needs to be set or it won't last all day. I don't know if I will use it as an eyeliner because I do have slightly oily lids, but I will use it to define my lash line . In the picture above I did use it as an eyeliner and it was on for about 6 hours here, It didn't fade much , but it did keep dripping down the outer corner of my eyes.<br />

<br />
<br />
*<a href="http://www.vmakeup.com/taupe-brow-pencil" target="_blank">Victoria Jackson Taupe Brow Pencil</a> Ok so personally I DO NOT like this eyebrow pencil. I have thick eyebrows and this stuff does not color it in, it coats it, as you can see in the picture. It truly feels like I just painted my eyebrows with an ink pot. I have nothing more to say about this one. I wish I could have got a pic of this but it would not photograph the true thickness of it.<br />

<br />
<br />
*<a href="http://www.elizabethmott.com/shop/ipsy/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Volumizing Mascara</a> Not much to say about this one either. It's not as voluminous as I would like, it flakes, and I am not a fan of the brush. I think that just about sums it up! In my picture involving my eyeliner I am wearing the mascara. As you can see it transferred and caused what looked like a shadow under my lower lashes but that is actually the mascara. I had just wiped the fall out with out thinking. But there is a substantial amount of fall out.<br />

Now first off I have medium sized ears but my earlobes are the dangly type so I tend to love either large stud like earrings or dangling earrings. These earrings are amazing!!!! They are so well made but at the same time very light. So very blingy but at the same time simple enough to wear with something casual. I ended up paying a first and only time offer of $8.99 because it was my first order. I can say now that I definitely plan to stay subscribed to this site!

After the park we decided to go get some yummy frozen yogurt at yogurt city My little mini me and I got pumpkin pie flavored frozen yogurt. She topped her with oreo's and well I of course chose crushed graham crackers :] YUM!!! There was one called maple bacon donut, and I asked my husband to get me a sample because I thought hay it can't be that bad. I WAS SO TERRIBLY WRONG!!! It was disgusting ! We had our little one try it and she had the same reaction I did. I will try to attempt to upload the video down below so if it is down there you must watch the hilarity of it all unfold :] Oh and as you can see she decided she wanted to be a grown up and sit all by herself at the bar area LOL Love her so much!<br />

So for the last month I have been using this beautiful skin care that smells of yummy pumpkin and sweet potato !!!! What is it you ask. It's the <a href="http://www.michaeltoddtrueorganics.com/index.php/pumpkin-nutrient-rich-facial-mask.html" target="_blank">Michael Todd's Pumpkin Mask Nutrient Facial Mask</a> . I love this stuff so much. I received it last month in my lovely <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/" target="_blank">ispy</a> bag. Plus not only is the product organic but it is animal cruelty free! I seriously can't express my love for this enough ! I have very terrible dry patches all through out my skin and with this my skin literally feels like the bottom of a baby's foot ,and even hydrated after I use it. Now this baby definitely tingles when you put it on for the first minute or so, but that's how you know it is exfoliating that beautiful face of yours. After one month I have used it 5 times and am only to the half way mark of my 1oz. sample. This stuff is $34.00 and I would say worth every penny. This is definitely a product that will be permanently staying in my skin care routine , ESPECIALLY with winter around the corner. You know dang well my skin is going to be all kinds of THIRSTY!!!! Well ladies and gents that is it for this review . Hope I was able to sway some of you to purchase this and if you do I hope it works out in your favor! xoxo</div>

Hope you enjoy and please feel free to share your morning pick me ups in the comments below. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Meiko Radio on Pandora</span>. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am not always in the mood for mellow music, I love a little bit of everything, it just depends on the mood I am in, just like most people. But when fall rolls around I have a few favorites to get me started out right and smiling. <br />
This radio station has the best kind of happy relaxing music. Aside from the fact that I love Meiko all on her own, they also play artists like A Fine Frenzy, Joshua Raiden, Lenka, Jack Johnson, Ingrid Michaelson, Priscilla Ahn and the list can go on and on with wonderful sounds! For me nothing can get me in a great mood like some amazing music!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. <span style="font-size: large;">Tea and Coffee and Hot Cocoa OH MY!</span></span><br />

<br />
This is such a hard decision for me in the morning, During summer and fall I tend to go for tea or coffee, but winter [ MY SECOND FAVORITE SEASON] is hot cocoa for me. It just warms me up so good in the morning! Now as for preference of tea, coffee, and hot cocoa that's a hard one. If I have time I will actually brew up a batch of chai tea really quick, but if not I just like to pop in any black tea with a pop of sugar and milk. Coffee is yummy but I try to stay away from that unless I am exhausted! I usually keep it pretty simple. I like to drink a good breakfast blend with some french vanilla or a package of dark chocolate hot cocoa mixed in. And last but certainly not least HOT COCOA!!!! My absolute favorite hot cocoa recipe is pumpkin spice white chocolate home made hot cocoa with LOADS of whipped creme ;p mmmmmm yummay!

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Candles</span>. <br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zNlkbEhl3Ck/UjE-Qp2na3I/AAAAAAAAAmQ/XQ_vui-825A/s1600/00001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zNlkbEhl3Ck/UjE-Qp2na3I/AAAAAAAAAmQ/XQ_vui-825A/s320/00001.jpg" width="312" /></a><br />
<br />
I am a candle person all the way. I have done the house plug ins and scentsy warmers and although they were great, there is just something about candles that make me feel wonderful. I do tend to stock up on the same scents to last me all year . My go to scents are <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=21636646&cp=12586994.12936210.4304630" target="_blank">Leaves</a>, Winter, Fireside, and Evergreen from Bath and Body Works. OH and a new favorite is <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=21654866&cp=12586994.12936192.4147333" target="_blank">Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin</a> ! It seriously smells like pumpkin pie ! Now Winter, Fireside, and Evergreen are winter scents so I can't put a link to those yet but when they do I will be posting about it . And just a little FIY I buy the B&BW brand candles not the White Barn. Although White Barn has amazing scents they just burn sooooooooo fast.<br />
<br />

Happy almost fall ya'll :] Lehua http://www.blogger.com/profile/11680041804030951313noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457372550837513629.post-54661667918903639302013-09-04T14:01:00.002-07:002013-09-04T14:02:05.047-07:00<span style="font-size: x-large;">A Child's Goodbye</span><br />
<br />
I don't know what is harder, watching your child say good bye to a friend or having to explain to her that it will happen time and time again.<br />
<br />
We are a military family but I don't want to make this that kind of post. I am a huge fan of military lifestyle posts. It's what I can relate to the most, but saying goodbye is not a military thing, it's a life thing. I have said countless goodbyes to friends and family members and some goodbyes are harder then others . I remember being a little girl and having to say good bye and how it was so much more felt back then. I guess you could consider me a big girl now when it comes to certain emotions. <br />
<br />
I myself tend to be a happy person, as is my daughter. I only really cry during movies or if someone who is super close to me dies, and even then I cry for all of 5 minutes and then I look on the brighter side of things and get on with my day. I have tried explaining to my daughter that it is ok to say goodbye to a friend because that gives her room to make more, and just because they are moving does not mean she won't see them again. How else do you put something like that? But the tears still flow and the conversations never get easier. <br />
<br />
We are only 4 years into this military life and are hoping for 20+ more. So I guess you could say there are going to be a lot of goodbyes. I am thankful she is only 6 right now so maybe this journey will get easier. And well thank goodness for facebook, instagram, twitter, facetime and so on, so at least when she gets old enough to responsibly use any of those she can keep in contact with her friends so much easier. <br />
<br />
I know this is a choppy post, it was more of what is going on today then an actual statement about anything :] I hope you all have a blessed week .<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Why hello there....</span></h2>
<br />
<br />
First I just wanted to credit my amazing friend Amber Fern of Fern Photography for the amazing pics she always supplies me with :] You are the best! Here is her link if any of you are interested! <br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Let me introduce myself (my name is humpty pronounced with a umpty ) :] had to throw that in there sorry. Any who my name is Lehua [ lay-who-uh] . I am a wife and mother. I would say where I live but people are crazy now days so I don't think that would be in my best interest ;] . I really don't know what to say or how to really start this off so I will just let you know a few things about myself as well as what I hope to achieve with this blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Ready . Set . Go !!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I am a HUGE LOTR, Harry Potter, SUPERWHOLOCK, pokemon, video games, puzzle games, They might be giants, cosplay, anime, and anything genius and anything fun and awesome LOVER!!!! I truly love history, astronomy and anything sci-fi. I also have a secret obsession with korean dramas (DON'T JUDGE ME!). I love fashion, makeup, natural beauty remedies, DIY projects, Pinterest, and Facebook stalking other people, not because I care just because I am a very curious person and for about an hour or two out of my day I truly have no life, and of course finishing whole seasons (sometimes a few) of some of my favorite shows in one day on Netflix . My hobbies include knitting, crocheting, painting, drawing, doing makeup, singing/song writing, struming my ukulele, attempting to act to myself in the mirror, cooking, decorating, and LOVING the bajeeeezzzzzusss out of my beautiful little butt nugget of a child and amazing hubba bubba. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> I LOVE LOVE LOVE my friends and family and above all else God ! I am an extremely happy person, but when around groups I tend to shut myself off and stress sweat, or ramble on about nothing while still sweating nervously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Well that is enough about me . I am sure you get the gist of who I am :]! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Now onto what this BLOG is going to be about...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> I am definitely going to try to keep up with most things dealing in what ever is going on, or what ever I am crafting but I can not promise anything because I have my little family and other life duties to take care of first . But I can promise to try :]</span><br />
<br />
WELLLLLLL!!! I think that pretty much sums it up. It is currently 3:08am and I am dying of starvation and sleep deprivation! So thank you thank you for taking a peek into my life, and please subscribe, SHARE, browse, or whatever you may feel like doing. For all the grammar lovers, I am sorry if I disappointed you . Again it's 3:08am and spelling/editing is neither my forte nor at the top of my to-do list so please forgive me. Alrighty good night and god bless all . <br />
<br />
